Se’if 1א׳

שְׁנַיִם אוֹמְרִים: רָאִינוּ שֶׁנִּתְקַדְּשָׁה, וּשְׁנַיִם אוֹמְרִים: לֹא רָאִינוּ שֶׁנִּתְקַדְּשָׁה, הֲרֵי זוֹ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת, אֲפִלּוּ כֻּלָּם דָּרִים עִמָּהּ בֶּחָצֵר, לֹא רָאִינוּ אֵינוֹ רְאָיָה, שֶׁאֶפְשָׁר שֶׁנִּתְקַדְּשָׁה בְּצִנְעָה:

Two claim: We saw her get married (kiddushin). And two claim: We didn't see her get married (kiddushin). She is married, even of all of them live with her in a courtyard, "we didn't see" is not evidence, for it is possible she got married privately.

Se’if 2ב׳

שְׁנַיִם אוֹמְרִים: נִתְקַדְּשָׁה, וּשְׁנַיִם אוֹמְרִים: לֹא נִתְקַדְּשָׁה; לֹא שְׁנָא שֶׁזָּרַק לָהּ קִדּוּשֶׁיהָ, שְׁנַיִם אוֹמְרִים: קָרוֹב לוֹ, וּשְׁנַיִם אוֹמְרִים: קָרוֹב לָהּ; לֹא שְׁנָא אָמְרוּ הַשְּׁנַיִם שֶׁמֵּעוֹלָם לֹא הָיָה לָהּ סְפֵק קִדּוּשִׁין; לֹא תִּנָּשֵּׂא, וְאִם נִשֵּׂאת, תֵּצֵא. וְאִם נִשֵּׂאת לְאֶחָד מֵעֵדֵיהָ, וְאוֹמֶרֶת: בָּרִי לִי שֶׁלֹּא נִתְקַדַּשְׁתִּי, לֹא תֵּצֵא:

Two that claim: She got married. And two that claim: She did not get married. It is no different than the case where he throws her her betrothal amount, and two claim: It is closer to him [and therefore she does not acquire it], and two claim: It was closer to her [and she does acquire it]. It is no different than the case where two claim that she never was in a doubtfully legal marriage. She is not married [in any of these cases]. If she goes and get's married [to someone else], she is [told] to leave [him]. If she marries one of her witnesses, and she says, "It is clear to me that I was not married [to the first guy]," she is not [told] to leave [him].

Se’if 3ג׳

עֵד אֶחָד אוֹמֵר: נִתְקַדְּשָׁה, וְעֵד אֶחָד אוֹמֵר: לֹא נִתְקַדְּשָׁה, אִם אָמַר שֶׁמֵּעוֹלָם לֹא הָיוּ בָּהּ סְפֵק קִדּוּשִׁין, תִּנָּשֵּׂא לְכַתְּחִלָּה. וְאִם זָרַק לָהּ קִדּוּשִׁין, אֶחָד אוֹמֵר: קָרוֹב לוֹ, וְאֶחָד אוֹמֵר: קָרוֹב לָהּ, לֹא תִּנָּשֵּׂא, וְאִם נִשֵּׂאת, לֹא תֵּצֵא. וְעַיֵּן לְעֵיל סִימָן מ"ב סָעִיף ב':

One witness says married and the other witness says not married. If one says that he was never in doubt of the marriage ceremony, they are married from the beginning. And if she throws the wedding away one says come close to him the other says come close to her then they are not married and if they are married then they don't divorce. This is continued on section 42 part 2.
